Just because UK leaves the EU, that doesn't mean it won't still welcome foreign workers (especially from the EU).

When I was last on Iceland, I met a handful of professionals working in software engineering and engineering - all but one of them was from the EU (a few from Spain). Anecdote, sure, but I got the impression a lot of businesses on Iceland hired various foreign workers (not to the exclusion of Icelanders, just to fill in a shortage of skilled workers - perceived or real). And then there's Norway, which participates via the EEC, but isn't an EU member. And the UK has made some noise about getting a similar deal.
